there's nothing that makes me smile quite the way a miniature does... something about them fills me with joy. i like toddlers (or, i like to look at toddlers) because they look like normal people... only smaller. same with travel size bars of soap. they're so freaking small, but they're adorable! i was wandering around the produce section of our local grocery store and i found a mini-pineapple! it was tiny! it fit amply in the palm of my hand, i have kind of small hands... i loved it, and had it not been just as expensive as the normal-sized pineapple, i would have purchased it so that i could smile all the day long. in london, during halftime (yes i call it halftime) at the shows we saw, these guys would come out and sell ice cream. but they were selling little teeny-tiny cartons of ben and jerry's! they were freaking adorable! and then today in spanish class, my teacher had a bunch of the world's smallest bananas! each one had to be an inch and a half long! two at most! so cute! look at all the exlamation points i've used in this entry... that should give you an idea of how happy small things make me! it's ridiculous. ridiculously awesome, that is! damn, i love small things... size does matter, people...
